can add to a <a href="qgraphicsscene.html">QGraphicsScene</a>.</p>
<p>To set the item's pixmap, pass a <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> to QGraphicsPixmapItem's constructor, or
call the <a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>() function. The
<a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#pixmap">pixmap</a>() function
returns the current pixmap.</p>
<p>QGraphicsPixmapItem uses pixmap's optional alpha mask to provide
a reasonable implementation of <a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>(),
<a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#shape">shape</a>(), and <a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#contains">contains</a>().</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img alt="" src="images/graphicsview-pixmapitem.png" /></p>
<p>The pixmap is drawn at the item's (0, 0) coordinate, as returned
by <a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#offset">offset</a>(). You can
change the drawing offset by calling <a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#setOffset">setOffset</a>().</p>
<p>You can set the pixmap's transformation mode by calling <a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#setTransformationMode">setTransformationMode</a>().
By default, <a href="qt.html#TransformationMode-enum">Qt.FastTransformation</a> is
used, which provides fast, non-smooth scaling. <a href="qt.html#TransformationMode-enum">Qt.SmoothTransformation</a>
enables <a href="qpainter.html#RenderHint-enum">QPainter.SmoothPixmapTransform</a>
on the painter, and the quality depends on the platform and
viewport. The result is usually not as good as calling
QPixmap.scale() directly. Call <a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html#transformationMode">transformationMode</a>()
to get the current transformation mode for the item.</p>
<hr /><h2>Type Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="ShapeMode-enum" />QGraphicsPixmapItem.ShapeMode</h3><p>This enum describes how <a href="qgraphicspixmapitem.html">QGraphicsPixmapItem</a> calculates its
shape and opaque area.</p>
<p>The default value is MaskShape.</p>
